Cyrille Amoursky commemorated the 20th anniversary of the assassination of Anna Politkovskaya, whom he described as a journalist who told the truth about the Chechen war and revealed, according to him, the nature of Kremlin power. He asserted that she had been killed on Vladimir Putin's birthday because he could not tolerate her work and her denunciations of the abuses of his regime. Amoursky presented her death as a step in the authoritarian drift of Putin’s regime and as a warning that most Russians had then ignored. He added that, twenty years later, Putin was also the "executioner" of Ukrainians. According to him, about thirty Ukrainians had died that night in Russian drone and missile strikes, including 20 people, among whom were five children, in Prylouky, following Putin's orders. He thanked Politkovskaya for her work and courage and called for preserving her memory. #AnnaPolitkovskaïa #LibertéDeLaPresse #Mémoire (translated)
